Hosted by an Australian Army Veteran, Care Under Fire Podcast tells the stories of inspiring individuals who have provided good medicine in bad places. In this series, Em speaks with health professionals who have served in war, humanitarian, disaster relief and austere environments both domestically and abroad. By telling the stories of these individuals the series hopes to begin to document the evolution of modern medicine, inspire clinicians to push their practice to the next level and increase the general public’s knowledge of what it is we do. careunderfirepodcast@gmail.com
